About the Upper link!
About Upper Link Length:
If the upper link is short, the motor will stand up, LCG is not good, but you dont need to worry about hitting the rocks with your motor. On the other hand, If your set up the long upper link length, LCG is very good, but you will need to worry about the hitting the rocks with your motor.
Both ways has advantage, but also both ways has disadvantage.
Try many kind of the upper link length and find out what your favorite is!
Below is the RC Bros think,
Vertical Seperation:
Shortening the vertical separation (distane between) between
the uppers & lowers on the frame mount side will increase Anti
Squat (rear rises) while increasing the vertical separation will do
the opposite. This is assuming all else remains the same.
What is Anti Squat?:
When a crawler accelerates, the weight shifts rearward. The
higher the weight is above the ground, the greater the shift off the
front and onto the rear will occur. This extra weight will compress the
rear suspension, making it SQUAT. But there is also a torque on the
rear axle, equal and opposite of the tire torque. The axle will try to
rotate upward. The links resist this torque by putting forces into the
frame. These forces may try to lift upward. The upward force will
cancel some of the squat from the weight shift, euqally ANTI-SQUAT.
